It takes for friggin' EVER to earn enough to do anything with. Like, I've answered so many questions and written enough stories but only every once in a while do I see 2 tokens added to my account. But there's NEVER any explanation WHY. If I knew how I actually earned them, I might participate more in that activity!!

RobertaS this EP Link shows how your points are earned for participation in the community http://www.experienceproject.com/points.php / Based on my observations , On the average of 300 - 340 earned points your points are auto exchanged for 2 EP Tokens ( A lot of work for very little return isn't it ) Plus the earned Tokens get spent faster than they can be earned thus forcing the incentive to just buy them at this link http://www.experienceproject.com/member_credit.php , The largest number of Tokens that can be purchased is 200 tokens for $40.00 Dollars , Now this price might seem great but in the long run it's not because even though we have free stuff like the gifts and gestures every thing else cost a small fortune to spend the tokens on / 10 tokens to add to the limit of a photo album , 6 tokens to add a picture to a PM message , 10 tokens for high heel shoes gift plus 6 gestures that cost 20 tokens each at the bottom of the list / Buy EP Tokens ? , I think not .

Thank you for looking that up and taking the time to type it all out for me Paschar. Very much appreciated by me, and probably others as well who are looking in on this posting :-))

Yes...it's always that way when someone accumulates tokens or points. It always costs a LOT more when spending them compared to your earning power. The exchange rate is always tipped in favour of whoever is offering the points program.

I, too, feel that the cost of 6 tokens for each photo uploaded in a PM message is outrageous! I mean...how much bandwidth are we actually using to include such a small low resolution photo! Really! I know, of course, that's not what we're actually paying for. But still...that's entirely ridiculous and a blatant rip off. Perhaps it's a punitive price developed to dissuade potential pervs from abusing the privilege of exchanging tasteful photos. The high price paid for ****...lol. I think, perhaps, this is closer to the truth of the matter, but I have digressed...alas.

Dissuade potential pervs from abusing the privilege ? , In the minds of the demented it has been my experience that they will post their pics no matter what the cost , Such a waist when there deleted by the receiver .

Your Response

It's a bit like a flasher showing his bits to the unsuspecting. They get more thrill from doing it than we get horror or disgust. Ya...the behaviour makes not logical sense whatsoever...but whoever said that sexual perv operate on a logic system to begin with?

"Such a waste when they're deleted by the receiver" and BLOCKED in perpetuity! LOL

My dad is the same way with vehicles. He goes to buy new tires and comes home 3 hours later with at new vehicle. He couldn't afford the tires, they were priced too high, so just buy a new vehicle. That's his joke about it.

I was a teen not long ago. I know how cruel teens can be. Please be patient. Someday they will realise they want a mom and have one. Make sure you are there when they realise this. Then you're the best mom.

food. I'm not a big purchase buyer because it sits there looming over you, reminding you how much money you spent. But I drop upwards of $50-100 on food (junk/fast/restaurant) a week without even noticing

Steam...it gets me every time. I'm sitting there going over things and I turn on my computer and I boot up Steam and it hits me with a massive sale. The entire client is one giant sale and I love it but it is so hard to control the impulse to buy everything they have to offer.

Ford did it for them. When ford bought Jaguar, the Lucas electrical part were the first to go, with the engine the second. Jaguar actually became a reliable car! I have oned four Jags all of the ford era.
